Planned locations included Coruscant, Taloraan, and Mandalore, the Mandalorian homeworld Star Wars games have never shown before. Smith even goes so far as to name one of the potential characters who would have featured a female named Naresha. In his 2008 book Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts, former editor of Playstation: The Official Magazine, Rob Smith talks about how KOTOR 3 already had a storyline, characters, and places all planned out. However, the speculations were true, and KOTOR 3 was indeed in development.
The abrupt end to the series had many wondering if KOTOR 3 was ever actually planned or if everything around it had simply been rumor. Whispers of a third installment bounced around online forums and conventions for years after the release of KOTOR 2 but with little concrete evidence. It’s not uncommon for rumors to start and spread in the gaming industry, and given the dedication of Star Wars fans, rumors surrounding Star Wars games can spread remarkably quick. After all, it ends in a sort of cliffhanger, so why didn’t KOTOR 3 happen? Rumors About KOTOR 3 Started Early It is apparent to anyone who plays KOTOR 2 that Obsidian intended it to be the second installment in a trilogy. When BioWare passed on the opportunity to make KOTOR 2, Obsidian Entertainment picked up the reigns and continued the long-term storyline started by BioWare. KOTOR had been devised and developed by BioWare, deliberately setting the game 4,000 years before the main movie saga to give the narrative as much creative freedom as possible.
